Work of art

Isn’t art the mirror of its time? Ronnie Blake takes great pride in the quality of the meals he serves at his excellent café in Rathmullan, Belle’s Kitchen. He takes equal care with what hangs on the walls. He reconciled the two when commissioning his sister-in-law, Linda, to create an artwork to suit the business. We’re very proud to take our place alongside all the great subjects of the centuries-old tradition of still life. And how nice it is to have a permanent reminder of our early labels – hopefully they’ll ensure that Ronnie’s enlightened commission becomes a real collector’s item.
